Swan River, Bicton
May 8th, 2008This evening I walked outside, looked up towards the sky and after seeing the cloud cover I thought, “I should be out shooting right now”. So, I grabbed all of my gear and jumped in my car and headed towards the Swan River in Bicton. Unfortunately, I missed most of the best light while I was driving to the location. The sky was lit up with orange, purple and pink during my drive but the colours began to fade as a began shooting. I only shot a dozen frames but I still managed to capture this photo that I am quite pleased with and it was good to finally get out and use the 5D on location.
I did a fair bit of processing to this image - levels/curves, saturation, dodge and burn, etc. I might put the original image up later for comparison if I am feeling confident.
Update: Here is the original image straight out of the camera.

mate that looks good! I was going to put up the my latest image on my blog up before it was edited as well to show what I did to it.
Good to hear you took the 5D out!
Cheers
